An uproar ensued, in which the NASCAR world rallied around Wallace in a show of support against what was thought to be a racial hate crime. However, a detachment of FBI investigators concluded, based on the fact that the rope had been in place at the stall long before Wallace\u2019s #43 team had been assigned that stall, that the \u201cnoose\u201d was in fact a garage pull and Wallace was not the victim of a hate crime.<\/p>\n<p>However, those facts did not deter ESPN from creating a television special out of what was clearly not a hate crime.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/espn\/status\/1470868014723747843?s=20\">WATCH<\/a>:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"13.542857142857\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Last year, a noose was found in Bubba Wallace&#8217;s stall at Talladega Superspeedway.

Seven-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson gives heartfelt testimony about how he wanted to stand by Wallace during the national anthem. The video also includes a tearful Wallace expressing how he became the most emotional when he realized the \u201cwhole garage\u201d was walking out to support him.<\/p>\n<p>Early in the video, NASCAR President Steve Phelps calls the show of support Wallace received \u201cthe most incredible noncompetitive moment in sports\u201d that he had ever seen. Yet, as Phelps and NASCAR should have known since the garage areas at Talladega are all under video surveillance, the garage pull that Wallace claimed was a noose had been in place since October.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the FBI used footage from those same cameras to determine that the garage pull was in place long before Wallace was assigned to that stall.<\/p>\n<p>However, at no point does the trailer mention that the entire thing was fake, and Wallace wasn\u2019t a victim of a hate crime at all, a fact that ESPN themselves <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/racing\/nascar\/story\/_\/id\/29354447\/fbi-says-rope-had-talladega-garage-last-fall-bubba-wallace-not-victim-hate-crime\">reported<\/a> on June 23, 2020.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>In that article in June of 2020, ESPN even directly quoted NASCAR\u2019s statement announcing the FBI\u2019s findings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe FBI report concludes, and photographic evidence confirms, that the garage door pull rope fashioned like a noose had been positioned there since as early as last fall,\u201d NASCAR said in its statement. \u201cThis was obviously well before the 43 team\u2019s arrival and garage assignment.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWe appreciate the FBI\u2019s quick and thorough investigation and are thankful to learn that this was not an intentional, racist act against Bubba.
